Netherlands born Anneke Beerten has been hooked on riding bikes since she started racing BMX at 4 years old. After winning two World Championship titles in BMX, she moved to racing mountain bikes in downhill and 4-Cross. She is one of the most winning female riders of all times, which includes taking the top step of the World Champion podium three times in 4-Cross. The Dutch rider is based in Southern California now, and with a winter of hard training behind her, plans to be one of the top women on the EWS circuit this year.

“When I first started talking with Alchemy, my biggest question was, “What about the bike?” At this point in my career, I need a bike I can win on, and in my mind, the Arktos is that bike. It does everything so well. It is good on small chatter, a solid feel in the middle and allows me to smash almost anything. It’s hard for me to imagine a bike that is better suited for my riding style.”
